Research Interests
I am a passionate marine biologist specializing in benthic ecology and temperate mesophotic ecosystems. My research focuses on understanding the response and resilience of sponges and other benthic sessile invertebrates to climate change and other environmental impacts. Skilled in subtidal fieldwork, laboratory climate-change experiments, and ecological statistics, I aim to provide insights that support marine conservation and sustainable resource management for future generations to come.
